The car can take 120/240 V AC input. Internally, there’s a AC to DC rectifier that brings the voltage up to the internal battery’s voltage. For 120V 15A charging, this is pretty slow in general since EV batteries have a large capacity.

I’m always vimming!

Not because I want to though. It’s because I don’t know how to stop…

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Earth, is in fact, Earth/Plastic, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Earth plus Plastic. Earth is not a planet unto itself, but rather another component of a fully self-correcting paradigm made useful by Plastic and it’s human manufacturers, compromising a full ecosystem defined by Mother Nature.

Other than the fact that I overspent a bit, I don’t regret it. Especially since I live in Florida and didn’t have to deal with the gas shortages due to the hurricanes. As long as you have a reliable means of charging at home (or at work), you are good 95% of the time.

If you do any regular long-range driving, be sure you get one that can support that distance. Public EV chargers can still be hit-or-miss, and that’s the biggest downside in my opinion. They aren’t too frequent, and a lot of times they just don’t work. You also generally need to get an account for each charging network, or else it can be hard to pay or you just pay more. But I can live with that, because it is very much an exceptional part of my driving habits.

This picture makes me feel like I need to rub my eyes

What’s up with most lowercase “s” looking like “f”? It’s not all of them too. Take a look at “congrefs”

This is definitely going to be used by election deniers to say “See, they really don’t want fair elections.” I’m not sure I really understand the role of election certification if it has to happen regardless by law. What is to be done in the case of real election interference or fraud?

Edit: Turns out reading the article can help 😅

Judge McBurney wrote that nothing in Georgia law gives county election officials the authority to determine that fraud has occurred or what should be done about it. Instead, he wrote, the law says a county election official’s “concerns about fraud or systemic error are to be noted and shared with the appropriate authorities but they are not a basis for a superintendent to decline to certify.”

For my home server, I use Restic and a cronjob to weekly take snapshots of all my services. It then gets synced to a Backblaze B2 bucket (at $6/TB/mo). It’s pretty neat, only saving the difference between the previous and current snapshot, removes older snapshots, and encrypts everything.

While this is good news, remember that this means that prices are still increasing due to inflation, just at a slower rate now. It does NOT mean that inflation has been reversed.

Lmao, there’s a GLaDOS voice. I’m taking that

I don’t even understand his petition. It’s hardly asking for any change. Just saying if you support the first and second amendment. I’m not seeing the point… Am I missing the subtext?

I’ll take a guy who barely knows Rust over someone who barely knows C/C++ every day of the week (and twice on Sunday)

The amount of energy it would take to punch a hole through the Earth would probably be enough to kill you from the moon.

Incorrect. It’s a trap, and he will attack you if you fall for it

Yeah, that’s fair. There’s also plenty of other things that are bad for you in similar ways, like ultra processed food. Maybe the better way is to regulate the production and trade so the harm can be reduced, like what the FDA does.

Libretube still works pretty good if you self-host your own private instance. You still need to use HLS though.

I have a mixed opinion on this. One the one hand, I don’t like drugs because of the dependence it’s builds on its users, the harmful medical effects in the long term, and how many people use it while driving or doing other dangerous tasks (for those that cause incapacitation). This isn’t just my opinion for marijuana, but for other drugs such as alcohol and tobacco.

However, I don’t want people who do use it to end up paying massive fines or ending up in jail, because ultimately they are victims. Of course, the reason this isn’t the case for alcohol and tobacco is because of its historical foundation in the US.

So I guess I’m left wondering what is an ideal solution for this problem? My best guess is to decriminalize, but also help improve resources available for treatment of addiction and education of its medical effects.
